Mamu Thai Noodle Truck

My co-​workers decided to try this today and I picked the drunken noodles with shrimp… OMG it was great!!! Will keep an eye on when this truck comes back around.
Signed,
Full and Happy

We could smell the food a block away and it drew us in. Drunken noodles with chicken was our choice and it was very good. Easy and quick to order and receive. Takes credit cards or cash. Steps away from the Brooklyn Bridge park.

Pretty decent pad thai, albeit a tad overpriced at $ 10 for chicken or tofu (add $ 1 for shrimp). Menu only has 3 items: pad thai, pad view, and drunken noodles. Drink options are canned soda, bottle water, and thai iced tea (which sold out very quickly).
The truck is here every Wednesday at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Today they sold out at 2:30pm, I was lucky I got something just in time because lots of people got turned away! Not sure if I’ll be back.

I’ve had the pad thai and the pad see ew with chicken and shrimp. The verdict is to get the pad see ew with shrimp. Just trust me. Unless you like pad thai.

I hit up Mamu Thai whenever it’s parked at South Street Seaport because they’re pad thai is so goddamn delicious! Seriously if the world knew this amazing pad thai, the dish in general wouldn’t have a boring rep. Their thai iced tea is made from scratch (unlike many places who resort to canned tea — gross) and it’s the perfect compliment to any of their dishes. The pad siew and drunken noodles are some of my favorites as well. Packed with flavor and fresh, crunchy veggies! I would bring any thai enthusiast here!

Parked next to TKTS South Street Seaport, I decided to try this food truck out at the recommendation of one of my friends. The price was a little pricier than what I am used to for Thai food, but on par with most food trucks. Ordered the tofu see ew. The food came out quickly since there was no line. Loved the wide noodles and sauce. Chinese broccoli wasn’t overcooked, and the tofu was a little charred (in a tasty way!). All in all a good meal :)

For a food truck, amazing, just in general pretty good. I haven’t really discovered the area where this food truck usually parks, but when we found at about the Food Fest at Bar Beach, we decided to check it out. At the fest, there was a selection of pizza places, a Cuban place, ices, cheesesteaks, pasta places, and a burger joint. This place was the standout due to its color, and the joy that it brings when you see it. When I saw Thai noodles, I instantly ran to this truck. The prices aren’t bad, $ 10 for a chicken pad see ew (or flat noodles cooked in a thick, dark brown sauce with egg and vegetables.) Prepared in a wok in the back of the truck as well… The flavors, for a truck were extraordinary. Noodles were to die for! Really great and successful food truck.

I saw this truck parked outside Mt. Sinai while I was visiting a family member and decided to give it a try. It was great Thai food and my brother and I enjoyed what we got. We had a pad thai with chicken and a drunken noodles and they were both very tasty! It was definitely a great alternative to the other food options in the area and I’m glad we found it!

I don’t know what’s up with these food trucks. The lines are ridiculously long, and the service is pretty slow and disorganized. I think it’s probably because I visited them while at the AfroPunk Festival. But aren’t they supposed to be prepared for large crowds? The large crowds should’ve gave them more of a reason to be organized.
I waited on line for 10 – 15 minutes before I finally ordered my $ 10 chicken pad thai. After I ordered I was waiting about 20 – 25 minutes for the actual plate. It was pretty sad. Orders were definitely out of place because people were getting their food before myself and another woman, although we were waiting longer than them. When I asked the staff about my order, they apologized for the mix up. The cashier even had to stop taking orders to help the cooks get the food out to people who already ordered. My chicken pad thai finally came out and it was yummy. The crushed peanuts and thai chili peppers were set aside as optional topping, so I was able to sprinkle extra peanuts on top (YAY). There were also packets of sriracha on the side. Oh how I love sriracha, best hot sauce ever =D. Yes, my chicken pad thai was tasty and the portion was perfect, but it was nothing i haven’t already had. I wanted to try the curry puffs, but unfortunately they didn’t have any ready to order (boooo).
I would probably come back to this truck if I had a ridiculous, out-​of-​control craving for pad thai and there were no other options left.

DO IT. It’s delicious. And the portions are really fair for a food truck!

Near my office in Tribeca, good Thai food doesn’t exist. Believe me, we’ve tried with disastrous results. But, when I discovered that Mamu Thai hangs out at the WFC Food trucks spot on Wednesdays, I dragged my «food adventure buddy» colleague over to try it. The Pad Thai and Drunken Noodles were solid. Happy to have the option, even if it’s only once a week!

Lunch options around my building are usually the same thing; Salads, sandwiches or coffee. I figured I would give the food trucks that congregate outside a chance.
I’m currently devouring my Pad See Ew and it is some of the better Thai I’ve had in the city. It is definitely authentic which I love, as I frequent places where if you don’t know the traditional dishes or speak the language you will be lost. This food rivals that made in many Thai restaurants and it’s made on a truck over he course of several minutes. I’m impressed.

So I was coming out of work for lunch and i see this coloful truck with a long line infront of the hospital. I had to see what it was all about, and to my excitement i see THAI NOODLES! I LOVE THAI noodles but i was skeptical about it being cooked in a truck but boy was it delicious. Every tuesday and thursday if i was working i was buying. The Pad See Ew is my favorite by far, but you definitely cannot go wrong with the Pad Thai. Definitely try the thai iced tea or even the coffee. It is well worth your taste buds and wait on line. Just make sure you deifnitely get there before 2:30pm. They run out quick!!! Their food is no joke, it is quite amazing.
Even on some of the cold days i ran out there in just my thin scrubs and froze my ass off to get some of this delicious goodness.
IF YOU SEE THIS TRUCK. ORDER FROM IT AND ENJOY!

Mamu Thai Noodle truck is great provided you order your noodles plain and add nothing else (like the chicken or shrimp).
So far, I’ve come to the truck twice, ordered the Drunken Noodles on one occasion and Pad Thai the next. Each time, the noodles were hot, fresh and served up in heaping portions. The thai spices and ingredients really rendered the noodles authentic, flavorful and delicious. The orders also come with a choice of protein like tofu, shrimp or chicken. With my Drunken Noodles, I decided to add the chicken. I don’t know where they found these scraps, but the chicken consisted of stringy, rubbery dark meat that really sullied the integrity of the noodles. If you’re cooking with chicken, I firmly believe in using the prime parts or nothing at all — this stuff was below grade, which only made me wonder what they were using for shrimp.
On another day, I decided to try them again. I would never have given them a second chance if the only item they specialized in (noodles!) was disastrous and incompetent. Only this time I ordered the pad thai with tofu. You can’t screw up tofu and sure enough, I had a much better experience: hot, silky, glistening noodles dancing with spices on my tongue. I really recommend you order without the chicken or shrimp, even plain. The noodles are clearly the star.

Tues/​Thurs 11am-​3pm Mount Sinai!
I love Mamu!
KUA GAI! Get it.
Pad see ew is AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!! Thai iced tea is on the sweet side, which I prefer over bitter.

Absonoodley delicious!
I’m no expert on food trucks but I do love Thai food and Mamu serves some serious noodle realness. Luckily, they are right by me once a week so now, on Wednesdays, we eat Thai.
The portions are large, the noodles are filling but not heavy and most importantly, the flavors and spice levels are seriously perfected. Loved my tofu Pad Thai and am getting drunken noodles next time. Super affordable, original and beats taking chances on some random take out place. Authenticity guaranteed.
Nicest people, too so follow them on Twitter @mamuthainoodle!

Great pad thai for a lunch break. It comes in a black tray with a translucent plastic lid, with red pepper sprinkles and peanut garnish each in tiny cups.

So excited to try Mamu Thai…
We haven’t had a Thai truck down at the World Financial Center. so I was jumping in my seat to head down at 1pm…
Long ass line… and a 15 minute wait…
Very friendly woman taking orders while the owner/​chef and other chef in the back.
Went with the Chicken Pad See Ew… combo… (chose Vietnamese Spring rolls) over the Curry Puff… and a Thai Iced Tea for $ 14.
I’ve just finished and I must say… it was delicious.
Very authentic. not greasy… crispy Chinese broccoli… good grade of dark soy was used… and the noodles were firm… not too soft. Chicken tender. although pieces were small.
The spring rolls were gorgeous… 2 total… and so cool and light…
I love these… the fresh mint/​carrot and vermicelli noodles… the dipping sauce was a great sweet/​tart vinegary one… just right.
Thai Iced Tea was far too milky. and I should have chosen another drink choice. but I wanted to be fair and give it a try. I prefer my Thai Iced Tea a little darker — so I can actually taste the tea… while theirs is far too heavy on the milk.
All in all. an enjoyable lunch…
Give them a try…

Ummm hmmmm. See, I really don’t feel good giving these guys three stars because I like helping out businesses like these, but I have to admit I didn’t really like my noodles. I was at the Bust Craftacular in NYC last weekend and they had a HUGE line! Huge. The crowd never died down, which was awesome.
My boyfriend and I each got the pad thai, the only difference is that he had the chicken pad thai and I had the tofu. He really liked his noodles and said they were great, but I hate to say it… my noodles tasted like smelly feet :(Seriously. They were not appetizing. Pad thai is one of my favorite foods, so I as pretty bummed out that they weren’t very good. My boyfriend tasted my noodles and concurred, yes, they did taste and smell funky.
I have no idea what was up with that, if maybe they were vegan noodles (?) and their method for cooking them messed up the flavor or whatever. So the food gets 2 stars but because they were pretty nice even with the huge crowds and dealt with the customers swiftly, they get 3.
Maybe check into that tofu pad thai, guys.

Had Chicken Pad Thai today at the Flatiron location, very good. Love how they have a separate container for peanuts and a small piece of lime. Please come at least once a week! Will try their Thai ice tea next time.
